They sure are

You pay £50 plus for a game and play for a while to find that if you want to complete it, you need to spend another £50 on the downloadable content, so in essence, you are paying £50 for half the game, and it's not as if you get any extra goodies either, it also makes achieving 100% game completion a pain in the proverbial, the amount games cost these days, you should get 100% of it, DLC should be for fixing glitches and the like, not for ripping off gamers! !!

OMG yes they are

This is very bad, every video game company is starting to make the original price go up and this is stupid. I think they need to see what people are saying about this because they need to make their games come around to where people will buy it not walk by it
